W.W. Chan tweed jacket (pictures inside!)

[drake]

Just got this jacket from W.W. Chan last month but have been busy with finals then the holidays so haven't had a chance to take pictures. The fabric is a hand-woven Harris Tweed. Patrick told me this is the last lot he could get and his supplier told him he couldn't get him anymore so I guess I placed my order at just the right time.

Here is a closeup of the shirt, also by Chan, the fabric is from Thomas Mason.

Comments, criticism, praise are all welcome.

Very nice. My question. Most suits I like have a very smooth transition line from shoulder to seam to sleeve. Do most custom made suits have that characteristic bump at the shoulder seam? It doesn't look too good but that's just my opinion.

I like roped shoulders.

Why? Please explain.

I tend to like a more English military cut. Nipped waist, flared skirt, and roped shoulders.

Good stuff though it looks like you're leaning forward so I can't quite tell what's going on.

It doesn't look like it pulls very much at the waist, did you ask for very open quarters?

Hi Drake,

do you have any pics of the rear or the sides? The front looks very well fitted.

Although, the I think you can get the overall length slightly shorter on the jacket. Just curious, what size shoulder is that and how long did it take to get the jacket made? I may go the HK bespoke route when I have some travel time.

That looks extremely fitted.


the shirt fabric looks wonderful.

Me too. That's a very pronounced cut, something how I imagine Dege or Huntsman would do it. Very very nice. Is there some linen in the shirt? Very nice too.

Great jacket. Did you get measured during the US order tour or in HK with fittings? Also, is that shirt linen?

 

[Thurston]

It does look as though you're leaning forward a bit, so the length might not be showing properly. I also agree that it might be a bit too fitted for me, but I think it looks very good and I love the roped shoulder.

Really love the cut.

I am a big fan of the roped shoulder too on the right coat and IMO it works well with the heavier tweeds.
Not over keen on the cloth but that's all personal preference. I also really like the shirt.
This picture has given me even more desire to purchase some interesting tweed based sportscoats.

Looks great. Were you measured here? By whom? Enjoyable process?

Do people think it's better to go to HK or fine to stay here?

That Harris tweed is gorgeous! What is it called? And is it really impossible to get anymore?
